Build Me Up Buttercup
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby?
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
Like you say you will, and I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten," you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around till then
I went to the door, I can't take anymore
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you, ooh, mhmm
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby?
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will, but I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you, ooh, ooh
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby?
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will, and I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
Like you say you will, and I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten," you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around till then
I went to the door, I can't take anymore
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you, ooh, mhmm
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby?
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will, but I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you, ooh, ooh
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby?
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will, and I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
